Background
Council has observed pedestrians and cyclists using an informal crossing across the Milleara Road drainage reserve in Avondale Heights. In response, Council’s Strategic Transport team has identified that introducing a new shared path will provide a more direct and efficient link between existing paths.
This improvement will also support significant anticipated growth in the area, helping meet increasing demand for active travel connections across Avondale Heights.
The proposed shared path extends from the end of the existing path at Lorgrove Court, near Templewood Crescent, in Avondale Heights, and connects to the existing shared path on the eastern side of the reserve across the open channel. It will provide a safer and more accessible route for people walking and cycling through the area.
A new speed cushion is also proposed in Templewood Crescent to reduce vehicle speeds near the Tea Gardens Drive intersection and improve road safety.
Have your say
We want to hear your feedback. Review the concept plan and tell us if you support the project. You can also share any ideas, concerns or suggestions to help improve it. Your input will help identify any gaps and inform the next stage of planning.
Between Monday, 1 June and Sunday, 21 June 2026 you can have your say by:
- completing our survey via the link below or requesting a hard copy form
- emailing, phoning or writing by mail to Council
- recording your feedback using the SpeakPipe audio recording tool on this page.
Please note this consultation period is shorter than our usual timeframe, as Council has already undertaken targeted engagement with directly affected residents.
Residents who previously received a letter from us and have already shared their feedback do not need to participate in this consultation.
